Horrible experience
Toilet bowl was not working, I went to the front desk. They had no one to come out to fix the toilet bowl issue. I asked for a bucket to be able to flush the toilet. A while later The smoke alarm kept beeping. They had no maintenance person available. They had no other room to put us in.

Absolutely horrible. I also tired to get a refund to go stay somewhere else because our hotel room was disgustingly dirty. There were no sheets or blankets on the bed. The staff behind the counter said I would have to contact the manager the next day to file a complaint.

Disgusting hotel
That was the most disgusting hotel I have ever been in. The air conditioner was so loud. I had to turn it off then the toilet wouldn’t flush. I was told that there would be water, tea or coffee and the staff when I asked said no. The staff were absolutely well. They ignored you so it was horrible. I don’t recommend them at all. I think Hotels.com needs to look into this mess

Fourth stay at this hotel. Definitely my Orlando home. Love the staff, the service, the location. Simple and affordable but everything you need! Love it for EDC Orlando! Staff accommodated my best friend and I as we wished and made us feel at home. The manager is a beautiful woman who is helpful and her staff are well trained. They will see me again soon

When I get there 1/10/2025 They gave me a room 1114 without hot water, toilet do not flush, the door you have to slam it to close it I have to cross to the Walgreens to use the bathroom and in the morning use the bathroom lobby, I tell the front desk my situation and they told they couldn’t accommodate me and my wife in other room, thank god we only stayed there for 2 days. Worst Hotel ever.

The hotel was disgusting and full of black mold. The entire property was under construction and the smells of paint thinner and chemicalsfumes in the indoor halls were so strong that it made us lightheaded just trying to get to our room.
